The default gateway must be in the same IP network/subnet as the interface which is attempting to communicate through it. Post the network settings from the Win98 side. Run WINIPCFG from the Start->Run prompt, click the "More Info" button, and post all the information there. I'll be able to translate that to FreeBSD rc.conf settings. One last question, though. Do you have a static IP address, or is it supposed to be DHCP assigned? Cheers, Mick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
